Answer:

10 2/7

Explanation:

first add 1 1/2 1/4 but you need to find the common denominator and make 1 1/2 a improper fraction after all this it should look like

6/4 + 1/4=7/4 now divided 18 by 7/4

so make 18 into a fraction and copy dot flip look like

18/1 x 4/7=72/7 now make 72/7 to a proper fraction and there you answer is you have any question ask in the comment section have a good day

Answer:

3/4 cup

Explanation:

12 divided by 2 is 6

18 - 12 = 6

we are going to need half of 1 1/2 cup of flour

1 cup = 1/2

1/2 cup = 1/4

1/2 and 1/4 cup = 3/4 cup
